@sue417 you have DCIS, at least so far that is the diagnosis. @gemjaynes had IDC, invasive ductal cancer, which is a very different picture. Some DCIS is even considered "pre-cancer," I have read. There is an Oncotype Dx test specifically for DCIS if it is ER+ and HER2-. I wonder if your doctor is prioritizing invasive cancer and therefore making you wait longer. (I don't know if that is a thing!) If so, it could help to let them know you are anxious.

I didn't like waiting and went to the hospital record room to get any info. That was before patient portals. Do you have any info besides that it is DCIS?
